Everything Everthing

Chapter 4

"Cassy honey how was your day?"

My dad's eyes sparkled as he spoke to me with love and care. Poor man didn't have a single strand of hair on his head but it suited him since he wore glasses and had a small mustache going on.

"It was okay I guess. How was your day?" I asked him.

"The usual honey. Except today at one of the meetings Mr Richard Reeves. You know him the one who owns the bakery down the corner with his wife. He came in and wanted to start business with us as client since he wants to import some special trays and equipment for his bakery here from Italy. So
at least we've got a new client even if it's a one time thing."

My dad loved talking about his work. How I wish I could go more often but without dragging the oxygen tank with me.

"I'm glad to hear that dad. I-I
D-d-da-ad..." Before I could finish my sentence to tell my dad I wasn't feeling so great , I was already in bathroom gagging. No I didn't vomit but the next thing I knew I had a nose bleed. I quickly grabbed some toilet paper and held it against my nose tilting my head back slightly so the blood could stop.

My dad had ran in after me.He rubbed my back soothingly to help me calm down and then once the bleeding stopped he helped me into bed and as soon as my head touched the pillow it was lights out for me.

The next few days were just a blurr since I had a killer headache and spent most of my time in bed.

I woke up but stayed in bed, keeping my eyes closed to take some time to think, I did feel a bit better today.

Being diagnosed with cancer a couple of months ago was hard to realize until now for the first time since I had been diagnosed I was afraid I would not be able to survive. The doctors had now increased my chemo dosage and left me to wonder when I would be finished with treatment and cured cancer.

Yeah I was not the most healthiest person but I could do stuff on my own. Now I felt like I had to rely on Shelly which left me frustrated because all I wanted to do was do stuff on my own. Everything was good before cancer,I took my pills to help me with my immune system and I was A okay i could go out and do whatever but now i felt trapped.

Dad was more protective over me and as for my mother I bet the bitch didn't care about me anymore since the last time I got a letter from her was three years ago on my birthday. She wrote that letter for me from prison and she's still going to be stuck in prison for the rest of her life. Why is she in prison, you all are probably wondering well your gonna have to wait for me to tell you.

A light knock rattled my door and in came Shelly."Morning honey how are you?"

I rolled onto my stomach and stuck my face into my pillow so I could block her out.

"I know you can hear me. Come on now you have a guest who would like to see you so why don't you go get dressed and come down for breakfast.
Come on up! Up!"

I just groaned and stayed like that for another 2 minutes until it hit me what she just said, there was someone waiting for me downstairs? That was weird dad had already left and I didn't have any friends and as for Alex I doubt she would come to see me since I was rude to her which left me to believe Shelly lied to me.

Anyways it was about time I did get up. I dragged myself to my closet and chucked some comfy clothes on with a beanie since I was feeling bit cold plus what was left of my hair was a mess so I wanted to hide it.

I made way downstairs and--
What a minute, who's Shelly talking to and why is she laughing so much.
I looked secretly from the side of the kitchen door and I saw.....her?
